Or how about all the furloughed folk who see the routes (ORD-FLL for example), they once flew now flown by CAL recalls. This crap started a couple years ago, lets not forget that.
I have no beef with my CAL brethren, I know they hate this as well and never asked for it either. But until a JCBA and SLI, it is just more teleportation of career existence/expectations from one side to the other, CAL being the obvious net winner. With all respect, I think the more senior you are the less you realize how big a hit this has been.
Next we will have CAL planes parked and probably more UAL furloughs (maybe some of us for the 3rd time-yeah). Don't get me wrong, the fight should not be between us, but world peace means nothing when your entire career has been stripped away. Anything less than meaningful contract restoration and fair SLI integration is pretty much useless kumbaya mantra.
I just want my frickin career back, you know the one that started 12 years ago. I'm sure 1436 others would agree.
Peace-

Hey that's my line! I've been calling CAL that for quite a while, 1999..5200 pilots, 2011....4800 pilots. UAL.....I know it's much worse so combined we are doing great! Sarcasm engaged.

It's a win for ALPA.
It's a win for all the new RJ pilots who get to fly shiny new jets with minimal experience.
The only group opposed to this has been dramatically shrinking over the past 10 years. Don't underestimate how much of a fight this is going to be.
